It's sunny again..
Cold, warm, cold, warm...just when we think we can start heading out to the park more often, another cold front with rain comes back and we're back inside again. This weekend, however, was beautiful. The "Dallasonians" were out and about like ants. Beau and I took Brynne on a walk today to the lake in the center of our neighborhood so she could feed the ducks. She asks every day to go, but today was the first day the weather was good enough to go! She was so happy...like she had been set free...except for when we told her she was not allowed to go in the nasty water with the ducks. Then, we were officially the meanest parents ever. You can see in the pics how I can't let her go, or she'll just jump on in! She always manages to forgive quickly after her dramatic fits...hence the "I'm sorry and I love you Daddy" kiss in the last pic.
It's funny how she will not let any of our guy friends she doesn't know real well hold her, but the girl has no fear when it comes to walking right up to a strange animal. The poor ducks in our neighborhood are scared to death when Brynne comes running at them full speed!

Spring time is here!
Snow, hot, snow, hot...that's Texas for us! We have tried to take advantage of the warm days! This spring will bring a lot of new explorations for Brynne like swimming, playing at the park...and hopefully soon, becoming a cousin! Beau and I are so excited to become an aunt and uncle soon. Brynne loves to talk to her aunt Emily and Uncle Brad (she can now say their names correctly), and she loves to talk to baby Haley in her aunt's tummy!
Brynne loves to play with daddy at the park on the swings and the slides!
"Hello Baby"
Kisses to baby Haley

Tough Road
It has been a rough week all around. This blog is generally more like a scrapbook for Brynne, but I just want to place an entry for prayer for some folks. Brynne and I have been dealing with something flu-like, although we had our "flu-shot," whatever. Beau has been out of town, and taking care of a baby when you're sick yourself is tough! Just when I'm beginning to feel like I'm on the brink of collapse, I'm quickly reminded that my issues are nothing.
In the past 3 days, we have been notified of the following things, of which I ask you to pray fervently:
1. Friend Stephanie - her sister had a massectomy last week, but the lymphnodes came back positive. They're going back in this week to get the rest out, and then she will begin chemo & radiation. She is in her early 30's and has a little boy.
2. Friend Becky - her sister-in-law passed away yesterday of unknown causes, leaving behind a husband and 2 children.
3. Sheri's sister had her baby taken away under unjust circumstances
4. Sheri's friend's 3 month old baby passed away from unknow causes. There is no harder battle, in my opinion, than losing a child.
5. At the beginning of the week, 2 of my patients passed away. Please pray for their families.
All of this in the past 3 days. Forgive me Lord for ever complaining about my circumstances. I have no clue.
To my friends, hold onto God's promises when life's battles seem too heavy to bear. He will carry you, strengthen you, and draw you near to Him. May He be your strength. I love you girls.
1 Peter 1:6-8 - "There is joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world."
Exodus 15:2 - "The LORD is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.

Yea for snow
It only happens about every other year in Dallas, but it snowed 5-6 inches Monday night! It was half melted by the time I was able to get brynne fed, dressed and out there, but she was facinated with it! The entire morning, she pointed out the car window at the "no."
3/6/08 - Funny how I was so confident in stating "It snows once every 2 years here." Here we are, 2 days later, with 7 inches of snow. And yes, it was 70* on the day in between these 2 snows. One day this texas weather may make our skin dry out so much it falls off. Hehe.

The 14th Month
Here's some fun pics from the last month -
Before Daddy's basketball playoff game. The story of our lives...either his head is cut off, or we appear as midgets...
Brynne likes to brush other people's teeth with her Dora toothbrush, just not her own.
This is a hold up... This is what she was doing when I went in to see why she wasn't asleep one night. I had to bring her out for a pic.
We are OBSESSED with Dora, the Backyardigans, and Elmo!
Brynne loves to play at the park. Swing, slide, back and forth until mommy is worn out.

Lil' Personality
Since I've been so bad at posting, I'm just throwing all these together!
Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow!
Happy Mardi Gras people!
Do the Mardi Gras Dance...or as Brynne says, "Dus"
We ran into our friend Lauren at the mall
Just me and my boyfriend, eating dinner
Knocking on the door at Rocky
Looks like she's soon to be an escape artist!
"Up, Peas..." Please in Brynne language
How can I resist this face?
